Polysilicone-11
Polysilicone-11 is a silicone elastomer — a rubber-like material combining both viscosity and elasticity — derived from cyclosiloxanes, dimethyl polymers with dimethyl, methyl hydrogen siloxanes, and vinyl-group terminated dimethylsiloxanes (CAS #63394-02-5). Its primary function is film formation on the skin surface. It is noted for a non-tacky, non-oily, and smooth skin feel, and upon application transforms into a matte, powdery after-feel.
